Anyone else suffer from this?
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, not that I have any enemies that I know of.
Hell on earth.

I have it too. I tried calling the tinnitus helpline but it just kept ringing.

Left for me. Although it's now starting on the right. Slightly. Not good.
I have no beef with anyone. If they have beef with me then that's their problem.

Not yet, but a lifetime of loud gigs and music makes me suspect it’s in the post.

I sincerely hope you don't get it.

Does it make you touchy as well?
Have you been for a hearing test? It is very difficult to get one on the NHS atm. I am due a follow up that has been put back to 2022 so if you can, go privately.
You will benefit from a hearing aid I suspect. They are very discreet nowadays and I would recommend it. Boots are just reopening their service properly again FYI.
You can find free test offers online readily. They may not be able to sort you fully but will give you a quicker idea about what you need to do next.
Touchy? Moi? Never.
I've been for various but I'm going to try again as it seems to be getting worse. Perhaps a hearing aid will help.
It's sleeping that is a nightmare. It's weird as it's always there and I can switch off sometimes but once I start thinking about it... You know all of this obviously having been through it.
